Things that only happen in movies, not reality


List things that never occur in real life. I’ll start.

1) a small yank on a necklace/chain will remove it 1st go
2) swords make metal on metal sounds when removing from leather scabbards
3) cars go airborne and flip when rear-ending other cars
4) computers beep constantly as you use them

Fridges only have two settings. Jam packed or one or two mouldy items.

Bicycles can be stolen without repercussion as long as you're in love (same with stalking).

People think the solution to all computer error is hammering one key repeatedly.

People look hot when just waking up in bed.

Maybe they turned the heater to 11.

I'll add:

Gunshots propelling people backwards. Bullets don't actually carry any force, they enter and leave the body without pulling you in that direction.

Characters say all their lines flawlessly without tripping over or messing up any words. Doesn't happen like that in reality.

Especially in 50s movies where everyone is fast-talking, being witty constantly and all.
